Facebook Video Calling with Skype

Facebook has partnered with Skype to launch “Video Calling“, allowing Facebook users to chat face to face with their Facebook friends. Video calling is being integrated into the Facebook ‘chat’ function. Users need only to click the video call button at the top of their chat window in order to start communicating over video, once the call recipient accepts the video request. The campaign, which is being slowly rolled out to users, is being promoted with a commercial featuring video chat in several languages.
